The California State Legislature established a fee waiver program for California residents sixty years of age and older to enroll for classes on a space available basis on the CSU campuses. At Sacramento State the Sixty Plus Fee Waiver program allows students to enroll in classes without unit restrictions for credit or as an auditor and as an undergraduate or graduate student.
Campus Notes:
This is the first of what I hope to be more frequent notes, flyers and community announcements encouraging our “60+” students to participate in activities outside of the normal classroom settings. I apologize for the lateness of this publication, but thought it worth noting to our “60+” campus population even if, perhaps it may be too late to attend this evening’s meeting. For those who cannot attend this meeting, a number is provided to follow-up with our Alumni Center in this attached announcement or call Capital Public Radio for more information at 278-8900.
Applications:
New students and those who have not attended Sacramento State for two or more consecutive semesters must submit both the CSU Application for Admission and the Sixty Plus Fee Waiver Application to Reentry Services. The application fee is waived. Students who are presently attending Sacramento State need only submit the Sixty Plus Fee Waiver Application. Students who applied but did not enroll in classes should notify Reentry Services to find out if it will be possible to attend the following semester instead.Student Eligibility:
Students must be sixty years or older by September 20th for Fall and by January 25th for Spring. Documentation of age must be presented with the applications. This may be a copy of a driver's license, passport or birth certificate and must be verified by a Sacramento State staff member. No age verification is necessary for prior Sacramento State students. Students must be California residents for at least one year prior to September 20th for Fall and January 25th for Spring; consequently, the residence portion of your CSU application must be completed.Application Deadlines
Both applications must be completed in advance of class registration. For credit enrollment, the deadlines for applying to the Sixty Plus Fee Waiver Program and Sacramento State are the same. It is advisable to apply during October for Fall and August for Spring. For application deadlines check the Admissions page.Credit Enrollment

Previously matriculated Sacramento State students who have not completed additional academic work do not need to submit transcripts.
